If You Like Onion...

Try Fennel

Extra-terrestrial looking fennel is crisp and crunchy with a pleasant licorice flavor and aroma. (Search: Best fennel recipes) Cooked fennel has a mellower taste and softer texture. All parts, including the white bulb, green stalks and wispy dill-like foliage, are edible. Compared with common onion, fennel boasts more fiber and vitamin C.

Prep Tip: If serving fennel raw in a salad, first slice the bulb as thin as possible and soak in ice water with a splash of lemon juice for 20 minutes to make it crisp. Toss sliced fennel with orange sections, baby spinach, sliced red bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Top with chopped fennel leaves.
